Roma beat Chelsea to top spot — Champions League

07 Diciembre 2017

Captain Gary Cahill has admitted Chelsea would rather avoid Barcelona and Paris St Germain in the first knock-out round of the Champions League. I remember during the European Championship with the national team we finished first in our group and played against Spain, then Germany and, if we'd beaten Germany, we'd have to play France.

Not that PSG was the only team scoring for fun.

Marcus Rashford ensured Manchester United progressed to the last 16 as group winners as they came from behind to see off CSKA Moscow.

"Disappointed to not take all three points but we never stop fighting", he tweeted.

United won Group A after coming from behind to beat plucky CSKA Moscow 2-1 at Old Trafford to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 2013-14.

Another likely contender for the title will be Borussia Dortmund after they brought an end to a disastrous Champions League campaign, losing 3-2 against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Conte immediately restored Azpilicueta to his team for Saturday's win over Newcastle and the visit of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, and after the match the Spaniard revealed that he hopes to embark on an even longer streak.

"This can be a new challenge". When Torres flicked on a corner, Niguez easily escaped Tiemoue Bakayoko's slack marking and had the simple task of heading home from close range.

Only four sides managed to complete the group stage without a loss, Liverpool, Tottenham and Barcelona.

And then there were the two individual records.

The incredible graphic below shows the percentage chance of each possible last-16 draw. Can you guess their names?

But in a year where he will likely win the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo grabbed one record for himself.

While North London rivals Arsenal have faced a joyless slog through Europa League Group H, Spurs have had a Champions League group stage to remember.
